A village has 5860 voters, of whom 7% usually forget to vote. In order to win an election, a candidate must gain at least 50% of the remaining votes. How many votes does he need to win.
- 2725
- 5450
- 3450
- None of these
Explanation
First, we need to calculate the number of voters who forget to vote.
7% of 5860 is approximately 410 voters.
Now, let's subtract those voters from the total: 5860 - 410 = 5450. Since the candidate needs to win at least 50% of the remaining votes, we'll divide 5450 by 2.
This gives us 2725 votes.
So, the candidate needs 2725 votes to win the election.
